Major Goals: The major goals of the project are to (1) develop mathematics faculty expertise at participating HBCUs in the use of Mathematica as a teaching, learning and research tool in the mathematical sciences and (2) promote year-long technology aided undergraduate research in the mathematical sciences at HBCUs.

Specific Objectives: The specific objectives are: (1) train 30 HBCUs mathematics faculty each year for two years to gain expertise in integrating the mathematica software in the teaching and learning of calculus and upper division mathematics courses, (2) each participating faculty will engage one mathematics major per year of NSF funding from their insti- tutions in a year-long research experience and place the student in a summer research experience at other institu- tions, and (3) to train each participating faculty on how to develop mathematica course guidelines and manuals integrating programming with mathematica and course delivery.
